Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 5 parts kosher salt
  • 1 part sugar
  • peppercorns
Make a cure of about five parts kosher salt to one part sugar with a couple of handfuls of peppercorns or juniper berries.
  • pork belly
Remove the skin from the pork belly and cut it into manageable pieces.
Layer the salt mixture and the pork in a food-safe container so every square inch of pork is covered by and packed into the salt.
Refrigerate at least four days; refrigerated it will keep theoretically up to a year.
  • cold water
Brush off the salt, cover with cold water and desalinate in the fridge overnight before cooking.
